A climb doesn't cost what flat does: “The effort, step by step” shows it, below the map of a GPS run.
What it does
- One sentence at the top: “≈ 18 km of flat”, for team, wheel and lead.
- Four graphs on the same kilometre ruler: elevation, grade, effort by position, what it is made of.
- Hover a point: its calculation unfolds in six steps, with its real numbers.
- Each dog's load, the same as on its fitness curve.
- On the phone: in an outing's debrief and when you reread it, offline.
What others see
- Every kennel member, like the rest of the outing. Not a visitor on the public link.
What it doesn't do
- It does not measure the dog: it tells what the position asks, not what the dog gave.
- The lead's own work (trail, pace, commands) is not in it.
- Not for a race.
The choice
- A light dog is more loaded: for the same pull on the tugline, 20 kg make more effort than 30 kg.
- The website does not redo the calculation: it shows the engine's. Position coefficients remain an assumption.
